Affiliate Links for Amazon/iTunes purchases
Some have requested that we allow them to participate in the affiliate programs that music providers offer. The listeners can click on links which take them to Amazon, iTunes or Google Play to purchase the tracks displayed in the Last Played list on the station player. This would allow the Live365 broadcaster to capture a percentage of the sales as a way to offset the costs of broadcasting. This affiliate program is used on blogs, vlogs and terrestrial radio stations.

Jeff MosesThis would be a win win situation as it will help to monetize our station and also help our Music Artists to sell their music and is critical for us to support them. Please implement this ASAP.
I also have an iTunes affiliate code for our artists that also have their music for purchase on iTunes. This should also be implemented for more sales of their music.
Thank you. -

Earl LawrenceI would like all the songs that I have imported should be linked to my own website store where the CDS involved would be purchased. That feature was used in the previous “Live 365” network . I am competing with Amazon and I-Tunes in selling my CDs. From my online store, “Sensay.com”

SeanThis should be implemented as soon as possible; as others have mentioned, it would be one way to offset broadcasting costs while monetizing the individual stations should they wish to take part in this

Chris MooreSince they're killing iTunes, it'll be an easier job now for just adding Amazon 😁

lindsey alexander MergedThe listener hears a fantastic track played, presses the 'BUY NOW' button, and up pops a selection of music outlets, such as Amazon, ITUNES etc.....I think it's a terrific idea!

GreggA widget on my old station did just this: displayed the last 10 songs played with an Amazon link to the item.

Emo from The Drive-In LoungeSuper great idea, especially for my station which plays a lot of indie and lesser known artists who can really use the boost.

Nicholas WautierI'd even be fine if Live 365 was collecting the affiliate cash and paying it out as part of the ad revenue sharing.

Maggie GiamalvoThis has been considered for 2 years. Any idea when or if it's going to be implemented? I'd love to generate an income from affiliate links.

Chad J CountryThe ability to click on a previously played track shopping cart will take you to apple music there is STILL NO AFFILIATE program.
Can you step this up? this would provide well-needed income for stations even if it is a pittance. -

Chris McKayYES. We need the revenue generation and that's why it's there and offered in an audio player.

Bill HydeThe sooner, the better. Not everybody uses Apple iTunes, especially in the UK.
Or if you can't (for whatever reason) add a function to have other affiliate programs per tune/track, make the iTunes link optional, so that the station broadcaster can make the choice.
